Fats are fundamental in maintaining overall health, yet they are often misunderstood. There always seems to be this back and forth of saturated vs unsaturated fats.
While some people commonly associate fats with adverse health effects, fats are, in fact, essential for numerous bodily functions.
According to Harvard Medical School, fats serve as a primary source of energy, assist in the absorption of vitamins and minerals, contribute to the integrity of cell membranes, support nerve function, and facilitate muscle movement.
Not all fats, however, have the same impact on health.
Fats are broadly classified into two categories: saturated and unsaturated fats, each with distinct effects on the body.
